What did you do in college? Go to class? Party? For a group of Georgia Tech students, the answer involves speed, creativity and engineering: They built a winning race car for just two grand.
Wreck Racing, a student group at Georgia Tech, took top honors at the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by CRC Industries and eBay Motors. This …
Thanks for putting on the event even when it may have felt like a bad idea. We had an incredible time.
Congratulations to everyone!
Classic E28 performance, always hard to beat 
Congrats to everyone. Some awesome performances by the winners. Looking forward to next year!

Accurately describes pretty much every year :)
With a winning drag e.t. in the elevens, one has to assume that the Nelsons were either not in attendance or they blew up spectacularly.
Congratulations all for braving the event and once again to the GRM team for giving misfits a home.
In reply to 300zxfreak :
I think I heard that they fragged their transmission loading it on the trailer? That may have been someone else, though.
Did the PACC Talon make it this year? I was expecting to see them on the drag podium based on testing time slips.
Congrats to all!
In reply to buzzboy :
They weren't there and IIRC they ended up over $2K on the Talon because it's intended for another competition for LS4 powered cars .
they were going to bring a turbo 4200 fairmont they built inside a month from the event, but the trans let go the night before they were going to leave. Not having a spare one ended their chances of coming.
That E28 is just sexy. Good work, college people!
Congrats to everyone that was able to attand the event.
Good to the Wreak racing Team and congrats to you guys. Damn good job.
Sorry to see Wheels and the famly not be able to show up...I mean no one was in the 10's this year.
What was the car count?
In reply to ckosacranoid :
Ed ran 11.02 Pretty dang close. I think there were 32 cars in all that showed up, but i could be wrong.
Congrats to Tod @Cobra Kai Speed Shop winning Old Guy Class and Best Theme. Loved the TA look the Miata had when I saw it at the pca autocross.
You might think the Georgia Tech University students come to learn. Seems they come to TEACH!
Well done!
I think you need to do an IQ handicap on those guys.
Congratulations, one day I hope to make it to the festivities.
Who got the longest drive award this year? I mean someone had to drive their car to the event instead of a trailer?
In reply to ckosacranoid :
Shaun did, came from Utah. Unfortunately he got rear ended and the Mustang got killed. He and his dad are ok, minus some bruises.
Was that the black or grey one in the photos i seen? I seen his posted something in a different rhear bveing hurt. not sure which car it was.
Best of wishs to him and his dad. If nothing else make sure the other compnay pays for your car for next year and at least them have to pay 2020 bucks at least.
